When a child gets hurt because of someone else's negligence, every second counts — match with a Texas attorney who handles minor injury cases today.
A child's injury changes everything. One moment everything is fine. The next, you're in an emergency room, scared, angry, and overwhelmed — while someone else walks away without accountability. You shouldn't have to figure out the legal system alone during the hardest moments of your life.
Insurance companies move fast. They have adjusters and lawyers working immediately to protect their bottom line — not your child. Without an experienced attorney in your corner, critical evidence disappears, deadlines pass, and your child's right to compensation slips away.
Texas law generally sets a 2-year statute of limitations for personal injury claims. However, because the injured party is a minor, the clock may not start until your child turns 18 — but rules vary by case type and defendant. Do not wait to find out. Speak with an attorney as soon as possible so no deadlines are missed.
Nothing upfront. Attorneys in our network work on contingency — meaning they only get paid if they recover compensation for your child. No fee unless we win. You will never receive a bill just for fighting for your child's rights.
First, get your child medical attention right away. Then document everything you can — photographs, witness names, incident reports, and any communication from insurance companies. Do not give recorded statements to insurers before speaking with an attorney. Contact HurtMatch as soon as possible so an attorney can start protecting your child's case.
It depends on the complexity of the case, the severity of injuries, and whether the other side cooperates. Some cases resolve in months. Others take longer, especially when injuries require extended medical treatment or liability is disputed. Your attorney will keep you informed every step of the way.
Many personal injury cases, including those involving minors, are resolved through negotiation and settlement without a trial. However, in Texas, any settlement on behalf of a minor must typically be approved by a court to protect the child's interests. Your matched attorney will explain the process clearly and fight for the best possible outcome.
Texas injury law has unique rules that differ sharply from other states. Knowing them is the difference between a fair outcome and pennies on the dollar.
Texas Civil Practice and Remedies Code §16.003 gives you exactly 2 years from the date of injury to file suit. Miss it and your case is over — there is no extension, no exception for "I didn't know I could sue." Wrongful death claims have the same 2-year window from the date of death.
Texas uses Tex. Civ. Prac. & Rem. Code §33.001. You can recover damages as long as you are 50% or less at fault. If you are 51%+ at fault, you recover nothing. Insurance companies know this rule and aggressively try to push fault percentages above 50%. An experienced attorney pushes back.
Texas caps non-economic damages in medical malpractice cases at $250,000 per defendant (Tex. Civ. Prac. & Rem. Code §74.301). There are no caps in standard auto, premises, or product cases — making attorney negotiation skill the deciding factor in your final number.
